Our Team

Dr. Dana Lerman received her M.D. at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York. She completed Internal Medicine residency at The Mount Sinai Hospital and fellowship in Infectious Disease at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Lerman is board certified in Internal Medicine. She has worked as an infectious disease consultant all over the United States for over ten years.

Dr. Lerman was the founder of The COVID Consultants, a national COVID-19 consulting and testing firm. During the pandemic she identified herself as a wounded healer and began her own mental wellness journey which led her to an ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica.

Since this time Dr. Lerman’s passions have shifted focus and she has since received training and certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. Dr. Lerman has received further training in trauma via PESI, Internal Family Systems via the IFS Institute, and Ecotherapy with the Earth Body Institute.  She is co-founder of Starlight Clinical Research and she also volunteers with Zendo Project as a sitter, medical triage, shift lead and supervisor at Burning Man.

Her prior personal history working with psychedelics, including work with ketamine, psilocybin, LSD, 5-MeO-DMT, synthetic NN-DMT, tepezcohuite, ayahuasca (including Yage), other purgatives such as Kambo, and empathogens such as MDMA, affords her the unique ability to know first hand what clients may be experiencing. Dr. Lerman prescribes ketamine for clients across the country.

Dr. Timothy Zagar is a board-certified radiation oncologist at Glen Falls Hospital in New York. A graduate of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor society, Dr. Zagar went on to complete his specialized training in radiation oncology at Duke University.

With a deep interest in the human side of medicine, Dr. Zagar's practice extends beyond conventional cancer care. He is particularly focused on addressing existential distress, including the challenges of facing mortality, existential crises, and suicidality. Dr. Zagar is passionate about exploring the role psychedelics can play in easing the mental and emotional burden during end-of-life care, helping patients navigate death and dying with greater peace and acceptance.

His compassionate approach blends cutting-edge medical treatment with holistic, patient-centered care to support both the physical and emotional well-being of those he serves.

Judy is a Registered Yoga Teacher and Reiki III practitioner with an emphasis on energy medicine yoga and the chakras.  She has been committed to a path of self-awareness since the early 1980’s when she first learned about the benefits of meditation.

The desire to link meditation with movement led Judy to her first yoga class and to the understanding that the yoga practice can promote peace, balance, insights and connection, on and off the mat. As many of her clients suffered with anxiety and depression, Judy’s interest in helping people suffering with mental health challenges evolved into liaison roles at various treatment centers.

It became clear, that although talk therapy can be effective, there are times when people get stuck, when they need more… It was in this space when Judy met Dana Lerman in 2022 and learned about the power of psychedelics, in conjunction with integration, for deep healing. As a seeker, Judy believes that holotropic breathwork, stone medicine, astrology, yoga, acupuncture, forest bathing, star gazing, sound healing and psychedelics can help guide and support one on their inner journey to transformation and coherence. She is passionate about sharing information, creating connections and developing relationships with the intention of assisting others on their path.

Judy is honored to be a part of Skylight Psychedelics and our incredible community of therapists and healers.

Jackie has been teaching yoga for over a decade. Originally trained by Corepower Yoga, Jackie quickly realized on her own that there was much more to yoga than a workout. She found her yoga practice became a work in. These days, Jackie goes to her mat to get reacquainted with herself. She goes to her mat to find clarity and to fill up. Jackie’s psychedelic integration yoga allows yogis to move intentionally with breath and raises vibrations through flow and connection while simultaneously further integrating the psychedelic experience. Jackie currently teaches ceremony yoga at True Yoga in Evergreen, CO and also offers cacao ceremonies while paying special attention to honoring indigenous traditions and wisdom.
